A state of anarchy exists in Persia and while' there has been no Intention on the part of either Russia or Eng land to interfere with the sovereignty of the country, according to officials here, conditions are rapidly assuming a shape where it Is imperative lhat 'order should be restored and naturally this task will devolve on England and Russia, '.
